NEW BLOOD.
THE FRESH MEMBERS IN TIE FIFrIETH
CONGRESS-.
Some Of the veterans-A Losing Game and
Prospect OF Bitter
Fight.
rFrom Our Regular Correspondent


WASHINGTON. d. c., December 3.-1f
there is anything in new blood the
Fiftieth Congress ought to prove very
vigorous body. In the Senate sixteen
new members will present themselves to
be sworn in as "conscript fathers.
Among these are Major Daniel. Mr..
Reagan of Texas, the author OF the
interstate commerce bill; Mr.. His
cock, tho former leader of the Republic
cans on the floor of the House, end Mr..
Quay of Pennsylvania, the famous Re-
publican organizer of that State.
The Oldest members in continuous
service are the two senators from
Vermont, Edmonds and Morrill,,
who have held their seats since 1866 and
1867 respectively. Senator Sherman
was elected originally TO the Senate in
1861 and served until 1877, when he be-
came Secretary Of the Treasury under
Hayes. He returned to the Senate in
1881. He is the only present senator
who served in that capacity during the
war. Next in length of service are
Senators Salisbury of Delaware (187D
and Mat. Ransom of North Carolina
l1S72). Senator Vance came in in 1879
and Riddleberger in 1888. In the
House out of 325 members 1870
are new men. Many Of the chairmen of
committees OF the last House failed or
declined to be reelected, so that Mr..
Carlisle, when he becomes Speaker, will
have some very important chairmanships
to fill. among them those OF the Com
mittees on Ways and Means, formerly
filled by Mr.. Morrison on the Judi
ciary, by Mr.. Tucker on Public Lands,
by Mr.. Cobb, and on the District of Co
lumbia, by MIR. Barbour. 1t is generally
thought that Barnes Compton, of the
adjoining Maryland district, will succeed
Mr.. Barbour on the District Committee.
A LOSING GAME.
There is some fear that the Republican
senators will oppose the swearing in OF
Messrs. Blodgett f'New Jersey, Faux
ner of West Virginia, and Hearst OF
California. If they should make OBJ
lection the Democrats will retort by OBJ
iecting to as many new Republican sena-
tors, and rs the Senate now stands that
would leave the Democrats a majority.
The Democratic caucus to-day de-
termined on this course, and il any at
tempt is made to bar ont Democratic
senators the Republicans will find it a
losing game in the end. Senator Harris,
who is the best parliamentarian on the
Democratic side, will lead their forces,
while Senator Hoar, chairman of the
Committee on Privileges and Elections,
reinforced by Senator Edmunds, will
have charge of the Republican tactics.
If the attempt is made there will be a
bitter fight.

tatives are all here. Senator Daniel is

A NEGRO LYNCHED.
He RaPes a Seven Year Old Girl
nnrsged Citisens.

ATLANTA, GA, October 1.-At
the emphatic instance OF the enraged
citizens Of Rome, Ca, Judge Lynch
convened a midnight session Of his
extraordinary court and Affirmative
ly ruled upon the privilege OF the
populace TO informally "gibbet" q
brutal negro named johnson. The
involuntary candidate for such q
sudden disposition was lieutenant
in the Salvation Army barracks at
Rome. The negro on Wednesday
afternoon visited the residence Of a
man named McGinnis, in Forrest
vile, and succeeded in enticing Nc
Ginnis's pretty little seven year old
laughter to a clump Of woods near
the house. He persuaded her to &C i.
company him on the pretext of Sc
curing her some pretty birds. When
they got we'll into the woods the
brute took advantage Of her help
lessness. The child returned home
later and informed her parents Of
her experience, aud Immediately a
party was organized TO capture the
negro. When the officers visited
the Salvation Army barracks.to their
surprise Il ey found him kneeling on
the platform and praying alone.
They permitted him to conclude his
solemn entreaty aud then. conducted
him TO Jail. When the people heard
Of the arrest they congregated
on the principal street and loudly
discussed his immediate lynching.
No definite stops were taken in that
direction, as the excited party was
without a leader. The subject Of
hanging the prisoner has agitated
the people since, aud yesterday a
meeting OF the citizens was held, at
which IL was decided to take the
prisoner out last night in the pres.
ence Of his victim and hang him.

Pneumatic Dynamite Gun.

NEw York, October Further

the pneumatic dynamite gun were

that ten shells. each carrying fifty.
five pounds Of the explosive gelatine,
could be discharged 10 ten minutes
and thirty seconds, aud that while
four Of the shells failed in the matter
OF range, going over or falling short,
the remaining six would have struck
within a space Of six yards on the
side OF a ship. A trial shot with a
heavier shell, one corresponding 10 a

the treatment of wouuds-the last as
necessary to them as the European

chief reason for this admission OF

tice, and only the other day it was
announced that two Japanese women
had obtained diplomas in Western
medicine.
